Nicolas Poussin was a leading painter of the classical French Baroque style, although he spent most of his working life in Rome.

He returned to Paris for a brief period to serve as First Painter to the King under Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu, but soon returned to Rome and resumed his more traditional themes.
